(HBO) – The Hoa Binh branch of the Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV) is one of the key banks in the province.

Staff members of the BIDV Hoa Binh branch have stepped up credit
disbursement to support production and business activities of local
enterprises.
The branch has mobilized over 3 trillion VND
(132.1 million USD) of capital since the beginning of 2018, equivalent to 86
percent of this year’s target. Its credit provision has also grown as planned.
